I think the bra is still there, in one form or another.Man, the title had me expecting the return of the bra!
So how long until Chris decides to try and get a woman only to get punched by a massive burly bulldyke?
Was it On Our Own? He's not officially affiliated with the booth, but I don't think they'd have anyone in a position of authority man the booth when they can get an intern or some other person there to handle it.I just came back from the event. I did see Chris there a few times as I was walking around, but whenever I saw him, he was sitting at this one specific booth that unfortunately I can't remember the name of. I don't get the impression that he was officially affiliated with that booth, but since he was sitting there the whole time (or at least during the time I was there), I am guessing that they know him/tolerate him.
He's tending the booth, so he has to stay there.Also, his behavior at this event seems different than what I've heard at other places -- in the past it sounded like he would go around talking to everyone, but he mostly stayed in his one spot.

He's probably there for both reasons. Like he'd go anyway if he wasn't volunteering. I wonder how long he'll be there. Like, will it sap his whole afternoon or is there someone going to relieve him at some point?Yes, that's what it was! I guess I didn't realize that Chris was at the festival to volunteer, I was under the impression that he was just going to go there to hang out or possibly look for sweethearts/friends (like the last time he attended the pride festival). I also am curious about how he arranged for there to be a Sonichu bulletin board.
So did you take a copy of Sonichu?I just came back from the event. I did see Chris there a few times as I was walking around, but whenever I saw him, he was sitting at this one specific booth that unfortunately I can't remember the name of. I don't get the impression that he was officially affiliated with that booth, but since he was sitting there the whole time (or at least during the time I was there), I am guessing that they know him/tolerate him. He was dressed in a bluish sleeveless top and a white skirt. What was most surprising was that he was wearing a Sonichu medallion, but I guess it's actually not all that surprising given that he's trying to revive the comics. There was a bulletin board that had printouts of the Sonichu comic tacked on to it, and right before I ended up leaving, I walked by again and I saw Chris handing out printouts of Sonichu to people while sitting at that same booth. I didn't take pictures or really hang around Chris too much because I didn't want to arouse suspicion, but that's what I saw. Also, his behavior at this event seems different than what I've heard at other places -- in the past it sounded like he would go around talking to everyone, but he mostly stayed in his one spot. At one point he also was drawing on this red tablet-like thing (I only saw the back of it, but I think it was a dry-erase board). Though, the event is still going on for four more hours, so perhaps Chris will be up to more things later.

You could go up to him and talk to him about what he's volunteering for. Hell, you could probably ask him about the sonichu shit next to him, ask him for a picture and he'll probably allow it. He's not afraid of being spotted IRL anymore.
Well, you did what you did to the best of your ability without overstepping boundaries. It's nice to know Chris is volunteering for something at least.I'm not going back to the event. I was actually just there because my friend who lives just outside of Charlottesville (not Ruckersville, but a different smallish city) wanted to hang out with me downtown, and it happened to be the weekend of this event. We're both somewhat involved in the LGBT community so it seemed like a cool thing to check out (I actually have never been to this event in Charlottesville before). He had to leave to go back to work, though, and he dropped me back at my place. I also felt that I had seen/done everything that I wanted to see/do already.
I could have struck up conversation with him but I'd just rather not be anything more than an observer, simply due to the history of people getting involved with him getting their pictures/information put on the CWCki.
